"Truly ahead of the herd," is how Bon Appé tit describes this company, which evolved from one ranch in Marin County into a meat processor serving a sprawling network of western and midwestern farms. The company's 15,000-square-foot plant and corporate offices (appropriately located in a former steakhouse) are both in East Oakland. The market for Niman's high-quality cuts includes upscale restaurants and organic grocery chains.
